In this episode of the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I sit down with personal wealth coach Lisa Beem for a conversation about money, values, leadership, and what it truly means to live a wealthy life. Many women long to feel more empowered in their relationship with money, yet traditional financial conversations often focus solely on accumulation, productivity, and financial performance. Drawing from her background in personal finance, transformational coaching, philanthropy, and environmental studies, Lisa invites us into a broader understanding of wealth, one that includes purpose, generosity, resilience, relationships, and alignment with our deepest values. We explore how a healthier relationship with money can support greater freedom, service, and our ability to bring our unique gifts into the world.
